Chapter 816 Unstoppable
Revisiting his hometown made Li Liang feel a little special, and the enthusiastic fans of the CSKA Arena are still deeply impressed by him.

Looking around, CSKA's lineup, which was warming up in the other half, has changed a lot.

Mourinho made careful preparations for this game. In the tactical class, Faria announced that Lindelof and Smalling had entered the starting lineup, forming a three-central defense line with Bayi.

Magic Bird is determined to conduct an unprecedented experiment. The biggest change in the starting lineup is that Li Liang and Mkhitaryan started at the same time for the first time!
He Wei, who had just seen the starting lists of both sides, exclaimed: "Xue Yang, look, Li Liang and Mkhitaryan are starting together!"

Xue Yang was also very surprised: "This is really a bold attempt, but I don't think it's like Mourinho's style..."

Even though Li Liang had told him to pay attention to rest and combine work and rest, Xiao Yu, who had been staying up late at Haicheng's home to review and prepare for the exam, turned on the TV on time, and the players from both sides happened to appear together.

He Wei's voice came from the TV: "...After more than a month of coming to Manchester United, Li Liang finally appeared in the starting lineup of the Red Devils..."

Xue Yang added: "Compared to the first season in Monaco, Li Liang has adapted very quickly, and we can also pay attention to his state in this game.

For the upcoming national team and Australia's World Cup preliminaries, Li Liang's performance is undoubtedly the biggest key to the Chinese team! "

Xiao Yu couldn't help getting excited, and began to secretly cheer for Li Liang and Manchester United in her heart.

At the beginning of the game, CSKA, which had the same 3 points with Manchester United before the game, launched a fierce attack on Manchester United amidst the shouts of "Hurrah!" from all the fans.

According to the pre-match arrangement, the two wingbacks Ashley Young and Blind retreated to the backcourt to form a defense line of 5 backs. Matic and Herrera fully protected the center. It was difficult for CSKA's offensive to penetrate into the hinterland of the penalty area.

In the 4th minute, after a hasty long-range shot was easily saved by De Gea, the Red Devils began to counterattack.

Herrera received De Gea's throw and immediately returned to Matic, who lobbed the ball directly to Li Liang on the left.

The new CSKA coach Charenko, who succeeded Slutsky as the commander in chief, immediately yelled, and Li Liang's familiar opponents Go Luoyun, Fernandez and Wimblom all rushed towards him.

Unlike the competition here nearly a year ago, Li Liang found that the movements of these three opponents were much slower than then!
He realized that it wasn't that they were slow, but that he was actually faster.

Under the awe-inspiring eyes of tens of thousands of Russian fans, Li Liang easily unloaded the ball amidst the pressure of the three, and then jumped over Go Luoyun's head and turned around to kick back the ball.

With just this juggling move, the blood of CSKA's Brazilian right-winger Fernandez almost froze. He rushed to Li Liang desperately and tried to stop his opponent with a foul——

Li Liang strided forward, swayed a little, stabilized his center of gravity, and resisted Fernandez's impact. At the same time, he took the ball to the other side. When Wimblom stepped forward, he turned his back and knocked the ball behind him with his heel!

The audience exclaimed, Li Liang seemed to have eyes behind his back, and he accurately sent the ball to the feet of Blind who was on the assist!
"Good shot!" "Beautiful!" He Wei and Xue Yang shouted at the same time.

Li Liang tore through the opponent's defense in an instant by controlling the ball and getting rid of the beautiful points after attracting heavy defense!

Blind broke through to the bottom line and passed back. Li Liang squeezed past Fernandez and took the ball with his left foot——

Lukaku overwhelmed veteran Ignashevich with a header!

1:0, Manchester United made a perfect start!

The little monster rushed to Li Liang excitedly, and Li Liang grabbed his hand: "Romelu, you can't take it off anymore!"

In the last league game at St. Mary's Stadium, after scoring a goal, Little Warcraft received a yellow card for undressing to celebrate, even though Li Liang prevented him from repeating the same mistakes.

The CSKA players who had taught Li Liang last season were all staring at Manchester United's No. 7. It was still the familiar face, but it showed a completely different strength!
Fernandez stood there motionless, he hadn't figured out what was going on.

Mourinho and Faria raised their arms and cheered at the same time, while Chalenko spread his hands in frustration.

He Wei said happily: "Brilliant assist, Li Liang is indeed more likely to perform amazingly in the Champions League!"

Xue Yang nodded and said: "He is really a born big-time player!
CSKA won a total of five consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round and the first game against Benfica in the group. Everyone expected that Manchester United would face a very severe test in this game. Unexpectedly, Li Liang tore apart the opponent's defense line at the beginning A big gash! "

As the game continued, Li Liang became more and more fluent in the frontcourt. The CSKA eager to counterattack had to deploy troops in the midfield to try to limit the performance of Manchester United's No. 7.

After Li Liang attracted the opponent's defensive focus, Mkhitaryan also became more active.

In the 12th minute, Mkhitaryan's long-range shot went slightly wide, and then in the 13th minute, he received a pass from Li Liangmiao in the penalty area and almost broke Akinfeev's goal!
Seeing Akinfeev scolding his two central defenders angrily, Faria excitedly said to Mourinho: "Jose, the two of them can coexist!"

Mourinho nodded slightly: "To be precise, Lee won Henrik more room for movement!"

In the 18th minute, Li Liang sent a precise direct pass under the defense of Go Luoyun and Wen Bloom. Mkhitaryan rushed into the penalty area first and was tripped by Berezowski. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick!

Chalenko froze in place, Faria and Mourinho high-fived each other.

Herrera tricked Akinfeev into taking the penalty in the loud noise, 2:0!

Manchester United players hugged tightly in the opponent's penalty area, and Akinfeev sat on the turf with a blank face.

Manchester United was unstoppable. In the 26th minute, Li Liang came out again from the defense of many people on the left. He made a slight adjustment and made a low pass with his left foot. Lukaku succeeded in grabbing a point in front of him, 3:0!

Excited, Lukaku rushed to Li Liang and carried him on his back, all the way to the stands of the expeditionary Manchester United fans. The two raised their arms and shouted at the same time. The Red Devils fans responded excitedly, and the home fans were silent.

He Wei said in surprise: "Manchester United's state is simply unstoppable!
The game was taken away by a wave before halftime..."

Xiao Yu looked at Li Liang who was being carried by Lukaku in the picture, and couldn't help cheering in the middle of the night!

CSKA almost collapsed, but fortunately Akinfeev did not let the goal fall again.

At halftime, Manchester United had a 3-0 lead.

After the start of the second half, the Red Devils were still unstoppable and firmly in control of the situation on the field.

In the 57th minute, Matic received a cross from Li Liang in front of the penalty area and then made a strong long-range shot. Akinfeev saved the ball with all his strength, and Mkhitaryan responded quickly and succeeded in making up the shot!
4:0, the Red Devils completely sealed the victory, and many CSKA fans in the stands got up and left the field early.

Magic Bird replaced Li Liang with Martial in the 61st minute. He personally walked to the sideline and extended his hand to Li Liang. All the Manchester United fans in the stands stood up and applauded warmly.
